Wade Wallace just sent the link and update. As many of you know, Cycling Tips imploded after Outside destroyed it. Here is a link to the plan for a new site with almost all of your favorite journalists.

Hopefully this reset will work out well for them, and for us, the cycling public.
Need as many to get behind it as possible.

It's an absolute no-brainer, IMO, to support these folks. I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of Kate Wagner, too. Can't wait to voraciously read it all.

For sure, I can't believe the list of journalists they have managed to recruit to make a dream team. I followed since he created the substack and have been waiting for this moment. Will be awesome to see what they can produce with a hard reset.

I've signed up and am on the discourse chat; at least a couple of the members had taken the lifetime option

List of the journalist for the lazy, the lineup is pretty solid.

This is excellent and ridding themselves of advertsing control/dependence surely the way forward.

Little bit out of the loop here - I read that Outside acquired CyclingTips back in July 2021, but did something happen in addition after that?

They fired some key personalities and then the rest of the payroll quit. Outside never wanted CyclingTips…they wanted PinkBike (which owned CT.)

I enjoyed cycling tips and used to enjoy the podcast but for me it became a bunch of people who were interchangeable, same voice, same views etc.
I did enjoy Rupert and the English chap but I'll give it a pass for now.
Best of luck to them all, I hope it's a success.

They are getting the band back together! So nice to see James Huang back in there. Always valued his impressions.

Looking forward to this.

Still listed on CT website with Dave Everett. Is he moving too?
